The Green Lantern rings aren't magic, they're technology. Basically, they can create energy blasts and solid objects made from green energy. That's what they do. There are a few other, minor powers - the rings themselves are kind of computers, including communicating with each other and...

The people I currently game with started as strangers. I met them at my college's gaming club. The game I had been playing in died at the end of a semester, and I wandered into the other D&D group, and asked if they had any open slots. That was... hm. Seven years ago? Been playing with them ever...

Most of the time, my PCs don't really have a home, either ever, or any more. This drives them to continue moving, or try and establish a home at some point. Typically, this is only finished around the time that the game is ending anyway, so they DO retire to a home. 'course, this isn't a money...

Haha. True. That's one of my favorite comic TPBs, actually.

While it's most likely an exercise in making excuses, I can actually see Angel wearing a cross as an act of contrition. Sort of like wearing a hair shirt, only more extreme.

I had a character with a Vicious weapon from about 5th level until the campaign ended, at 12th. I loved it. The character was sort of a pinwheel of death, dealing a pretty insane amount of damage, and taking quite a bit himself. He was a psychic warrior, and relied on his Vigor power to offset...

I have a character with a Skin of Ectoplasmic Armor that I got enchanted for additional benefits. It hasn't had any balance problems for us. I would say that you'd need to add an enhancement bonus to it first, though. Essentially, it's a suit of really nice armor with a special effect. That's...

See if you can mount the drive as the new computer's bootable drive. That would require a bit of time while it finds new hardware and such when you first boot, since Windows will find different settings than what it previously had. In the end, however, you should be able to get the system...

That man's handwriting is atrocious. I can't read a thing he's talking about. But it was an interesting article.

"Everyone deserves a chance to shine, every session."

I had a question that I didn't see resolved in the book. Does it ever explain how the two Death Eaters find Harry and Co after they disapparate from Bill and Fleur's wedding? They appear in a Muggle neighborhood, and head into a cafe, where it turns out two Death Eaters are already there...

Armor spikes are a weapon, and are treated as separate from the armor for purposes of materials, enchanting, proficiency, and such. You have to add the masterwork property to them, and enchant them apart from the armor. I'd write it up as, say, +4 Adamantine Full Plate (+2 Keen Adamantine Armor...

The trouble with Harry Potter magic is that the subjects taught in school don't really map to mechanical effects very well, and we're not given any kind of underpinnings or explanation of what's going on. That makes it difficult to pick up any kind of mechanical basis from which to extrapolate a...

It's called Sculpt Spell, from Complete Arcane. Metamagic feat with a +2 level adjustment. Also, IMO, one of the best metamagic rods you can get.

When I played a druid, I only found myself shapeshifting into a handful of forms, depending on what was needed at the time. I found I was almost always in either dire bear (for combat), eagle (for scouting and flying), or a housecat (for sneaking and blending in). Anything else wasn't really...

I'd make the place either a giant locking mechanism itself (some kind of large system of gears, magical assemblies, or other such stuff), or a giant planar orrery. If the planes have to line up just right, something like that would be interesting. What you want is stuff moving around, different...

Generally, I find sorcerers work better than wizards as fighter/mages. They have more spells per day, and can continue fighting for longer, as well as focusing their abilities tightly on spells they KNOW will be useful. Wizards tend to have quite a bit of the "Shoot, if only I'd prepared X today...

Guess nobody ever told you about that, eh? Edit: Curse you, Sedaris!

Orcs are fine. The humanoids I have no use for are bugbears and hobgoblins. They almost never show up in a game I run, while orcs do tend to. I tend to run them as primitive Klingons, personally.

Haha, thanks. I was looking for a more formal spec, something with all the various options, like color choices and such. Google searching isn't finding anything more than Visual Basic code formatting.
